    Today's shave was with my own Blood Thirsty Razor. It has given me two of the worst cuts/gouges I've ever had, in the past. I am always hyper-vigilant when using this razor. So, I had a fantastically smooth 2 pass shave, that left me BBS. It's one of the noisiest razors I own. Probably because it is truly an Extra Hollow Grind. Zero Cuts, Nicks, or Weepers, just smoothness. I've not seen another like this, but, for some reason, it is in my top 10 razors rotation.

    Razor- "Respect 4" Germany. Best Silver Steel. Extra Hollow Ground.
    Brush- Omega 10098 Boar
    Soap- Stirling Ozark Mountain
    Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice. Yummy.

    RAZOR: Remei DE - Chinese copy of a Gillette Tech
    BLADE: Dorco Platinum ST300
    PREP: bloom water & C.O. Bigelow shave cream
    SOAP: Williams Mug
    MUG: Vintage Old Spice
    BRUSH: VDH Kit Boar Bristle
    POST SHAVE: Clubman Styptic Pencil - sometimes I use this just like an alum stick, applying to my entire face. Feels good.
    AFTER SHAVE: Flag and Sail Brisk- this Skin Bracer clone has more menthol punch and a masculine scent - less sweet than SB to my nose.

    Very nice shave this morning. I have really taken a liking to this little DE razor from China. It always seems to give me a very comfortable shave and with 4 quick passes, I am dolphin smooth! I took this pic right after finishing the shave. Not a great pic, but you can really see the blade exposure on the Remei. Lather is gone because I squeeze it out of the brush into my hand for touchups.
    The Williams really delivered a thick, rich face lather. And plenty enough for 4 passes & touchups after.
    The Bigelow pre-shave treatment gave me just the menthol booster that I was looking for. Great way to start the week.

    Razor - 1962 (H1) Gillette Slim (6)
    Blade - [​IMG] (2)
    Soap - Tabac
    Brush - WCS Synthetic
    Post - Alum

    Well after a fun day of chasing shadows I settled in with the Slim and Gillette Stainless for its second time around. Tabac and the West Coast brush for the lather and two passes and touch ups for the BBS finish. Can't beat that for a shave. Alum was quiet, face feels good and I'm a happy camper. Nothing fancy or over the top about this blade. Just a quality piece of sharpened steel from Gillette. They've always been proud of their stainless blades from the first time they introduced them. Shave on!

    O0ps! I forgot Monday is menthol shave day. (I'm new here.) Besides, I haven't shaved on a Monday in more than a month.

    Nevertheless, I enjoyed a great shave today with.... Merkur 34c razor loaded with a Derby Extra (2nd use), Proraso Red lathered up with a synthetic Omega Hi-Brush. Post shave included Witch Hazel, Nivea Sensitive Balm and the Proraso Red AS. Love that scent and it lingers for hours.
